From: Ray

There is a bigger issue here, but to answer Pi's questions it appears from the text that the 7th month (17th day) minus the 2nd month (17th) is 5 months or 150 days which is 30 days per month.

Pi:

That wasn't the question. The claim was made that the verses cited support a 360 day year. Terry cited:

Noah's age at the time of the alleged flood being the 600th year of Noah's life, the second month, the 17th day of that month as evidence of a 360 day year.

He also claimed the Earth being covered with water for 150 days supports a 360 day year. (Notice, no mention is made of how many months that is.) Further, the other reference is to tha Ark running aground on the 17th day of the 7th month. There is no integer number of days that will satisfy making 150 days equal to the 17th day of the 7th month.

Let's see.... 7th month means 6 months completed.... 180 days. Add the 17 for 17th day of the month and I get 197 days.

Ray:

30 days for each month times 12 months in a year is a 360 day year. The Old Testament, in several places before the days of Hezekiah, cite the month as exactly 30 days.

Pi:

Recall, I said I'm not disputing a 30 day month. My question is how the referenced passages support it. They don't.

There is a bigger issue here, but to answer Pi's questions it appears from the text that the 7th month (17th day) minus the 2nd month (17th) is 5 months or 150 days which is 30 days per month. 30 days for each month times 12 months in a year is a 360 day year. The Old Testament, in several places before the days of Hezekiah, cite the month as exactly 30 days.

The bigger issue is this: It was a Jew, Immanuel Velikovsky who wrote in his book 'Worlds in Collision' (p.333 - p. 361) that the year used to be 360 days and was changed at some point to 365.25 days. He cites several cultures which had this calendar during times when it was exclusively 360 days for the year. But concerning the Hebrews he discusses the Talmud calendar changes made by Hezekiah. Apparently, the Old Testament peoples used the same 360 day year calendar as every one else up until, like every one else, the calendar was changed to reflect the new reality.

However, YEC did not originate the idea. And, as Rick has pointed out in our exchanges,YEC merely take things Velikovsky has uncovered and use it for there own purposes with out acknowledging the source. On something as fundamental as this, the source should be cited or it is dishonest.

Velikovsky promoted the need for a reconstruction of Middle and Near Eastern chronology. He did an extensive partial historical reconstruction (with plenty of documentation) in several books. I have noticed in recent years the YEC are starting to move into this area of Velikovsky's work.

I wonder if YEC will bring Velikovsky into their "hall of fame" for giving them a great deal of so much the teach.

1) In what way does the claim the flood began "in the 600th year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month" support a 360 day year?

2) In what way does the claim the water covered the Earth for 150 days support a 360 day year?

3) In what way does the claim the Ark ran aground on the 17th day of the 7th month support a 360 day year?

4) How can you reconcile 150 days with being the same period as the 17th day of the 7th month?

I repeat, Terry presents nothing that supports a 360 day year.

There are a number of ancient civilizations that used a 360 day year, but many of them had 5 "off calendar" holidays each year. Most ancients used a lunar calendar with 13 months of 28 days each (364 days).

That implies Noah and his sons (who kept the log of the Ark during its “cruise”) were used to a 360 day year of 12 months, with 30 days for a month.

Pi comments:

Let's see.... one verse says 150 days, another says the 17th day of the 7th month. If we use a 30 day month, the latter would be 167 days. With a 28 or 29 day lunar month, it would be 155 days or 161 days respectively. The verses don't even agree with each other, let alone indicate a 360 day year.

Terry goes on to conclude:

That implies Noah and his sons (who kept the log of the Ark during its “cruise”) were used to a 360 day year of 12 months, with 30 days for a month.

Pi asks:

How?

Terry then finishes the article with more uncritical claims produced in Walt Brown's privately published vanity book. In short, he produces no justification at all for any of his assertions in this article.

Pi, if you can't get it into your head that five consecutive 30-day months are a strong indication for a 360-day year, there's no help for you.

Still, there are some assumptions in CSHF's statement.

From the 17th day of January to the 17th day of May this year will be 120 days: four months in which only one of them, the last, actually had 30 days. Had there been another Caesar, named Junius, who fudged the calendar a little further--impoverishing February by yet one more day and bestowing it upon June--we could have made it to five months of 150 days.

Furthermore, 13 lunar months of 28 days each makes absolutely no sense unless the lunar cycle is severely curtailed.

Ray, before you declare me helpless, I suggest you get the straw out of your argument.

1) No one made mention of five consecutive 30 day months.

2) I never disputed there were societies that used 360 day calendars. What I did was to point out that those societies also had 5 "off calendar" days per year. This means their year was still 365 days.

3) I listed a number of things Terry Hurlbut claimed support a 360 day year (below). My question was directed at those claims as I didn't see how any of them support a 360 day year.

We must be careful to distinguish between a calendar year and a solar year. Regardless of the length of the calendar year, there is no evidence the solar year was ever 360 days.

Pi, if you can't get it into your head that five consecutive 30-day months are a
strong indication for a 360-day year, there's no help for you.

... Pi, I think you intended or should have intended those comments to be directed to Daniel, not Ray. Sincerely, Robert Baty

We must be careful to distinguish between a calendar year and a solar year. Regardless of the length of the calendar year, there is no evidence the solar year was ever 360 days.

Pi, if you can't get it into your head that five consecutive 30-day months are a

From the 17th day of January to the 17th day of May this year will be 120 days:

repeats that. Then Genesis 8:4 says Noahâs Ark ran aground on the seventeenth

> Let's see.... one verse says 150 days, another says the 17th day of the 7th
month. If we use a 30 day month, the latter would be 167 days. With a 28 or 29
day lunar month, it would be 155 days or 161 days respectively. The verses
don't even agree with each other, let alone indicate a 360 day year.
